Safety

• If your Video still does not operate properly, unplug it and call your dealer. Your Video should not be repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.
• Never remove the top cover of your Video as this can expose you to very high voltage and other hazards.
• Ensure that your Video is placed in a position to allow a free flow of air.

- Position your Video so that no bright light or sunlight falls directly onto it.

- Care should be taken not to expose your Video to any unnecessary vibration, moisture, dust or heat.

- During electrical storms it is advisable to unplug both the aerial cable and mains plug to prevent accidental damage to your Video and TV.

- Do not operate your Video if it is damaged.

- The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Cleaning

1 Unplug the Video from the mains supply.
2 Clean the cabinet with a soft damp cloth, do not apply liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

Never spray cleaning liquids on or near the Video.

Video head cleaning

High quality video tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video heads, but old or damaged tapes may. This dirt can accumulate on the video heads after a long period of time and cause the picture to become blurred or broken up. To clean the video heads use a video heads cleaning tape available from electrical stores.

Connecting to a television

The information given here refers to the two most common forms of connection. Make sure that all the appliances are unplugged from the mains power, before making any connections to avoid causing damage to your equipment. Using a AV cable to connect your appliances will give you the best sound and picture quality.

Roof aerial (not supplied) Television (not supplied) Video AUDIO / VIDEO OUT RF cable Audio cable Video cable AUDIO/VIDEO IN

Aerial in RF out

Connection guide

Roof aerial

Your outside aerial should be connected to the AERIAL socket of your Video.

RF cable

If you are using the RF cable a connection needs to be made from the RF.OUT socket on your Video to the aerial socket on your television.

AV socket

If you have a AV socket connection on your television you can connect the television's AUDIO IN/VIDEO IN sockets to the AUDIO OUT/VIDEO OUT sockets on the back of the Video.

Tune a video channel

If you are using a AV connection then the video picture will be shown on the AV channel of your television.

2 Select the video channel you have tuned on your television, refer to your TV user guide if necessary. The ACMS menu screen will appear.

Use ◀ or ▶ to select a desired TV system according to the area you live in (I/I, B/G, D/K).

3 Press OK to start the automatic tuning process.
4 When the ACMS has finished a screen showing all the channels that have been found and the positions they have been placed in will be displayed.

5 Check that the channels correspond to the positions in which you want them. If they are not in the order that you would like they can be moved or deleted. See Changing the order of the television stations and Deleting the television stations.

To move the manually tuned channel to it's correct position see Changing the order of the television stations on page 5.
If it is necessary for you to tune all the television stations manually you may find it easier if you write the CH numbers down for each station as you find them. You can then select each channel from the main menu and type the CH numbers in directly. Each channel will then be in the correct position so there is no need to change them later.

Operating your Video

The main functions of your Video can be operated using either the Remote Control or front control panel on the Video. Before starting, you should ensure that your television and your Video have been plugged in and switched on and that the video channel on your television is selected.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with your Video please check the following before calling your service centre.

14

No picture and no sound

• Check that the Video plug has been plugged in and switched on at a mains wall socket and that the television has been plugged in and switched on.
• Check the aerial lead is undamaged and securely connected to the correct sockets in both the television and the Video.
• Check that you have tuned into a video channel on your television.
• If you are using a AV connection, check that the cable is secure and that the correct AV channel is selected on your television.

No playback or a poor picture

• Try a different video cassette. If the problem is resolved, the problem may have been the cassette itself.
• Try using the tracking buttons TRK + or - to reduce the amount of visible interference.
• If the cassette contains a recording that you have recently made from the television, the television channels may not be tuned to the Video correctly.

TV programmes cannot be recorded

• Check the reception on your television set. If you cannot receive a picture through your aerial, the Video will be unable to record television broadcasts.
• Check the aerial lead is undamaged and securely connected to the correct sockets.
• Check that the Video has been tuned to the television
• Check the rear of the video cassette to see if the safety tab used to prevent recording has been removed.
• Check that the signal being received by the television is reasonable quality.

A video tape cannot be inserted

• Check that there is not a cassette in the Video already.
• Is the video cassette the right way round? The windows should be at the top and the arrow should be pointing toward the Video.

The Remote Control does not work

• Has the Video been plugged in and switched on?
• Check that the batteries have been inserted correctly into the Remote Control.

The top of the video picture is unstable

• The video cassette may be damaged. Insert another video cassette and check the picture from it.
- Try adjusting the horizontal control on your television, you should consult your television user guide on how to do this.
- Check the aerial lead is undamaged and securely connected to the correct sockets.
- Ensure that the television has been correctly tuned to your Video.

Autoplay does not work

• If the safety tab has not been removed from the video cassette this function will not work.
• This function will not work during the "Lock" operation (See page 11).

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "\_\_\_\_", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated placeholder underscores where none exist in the GT. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
